Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 727 - 728: Ambush

Recalling Yumo’s previous strange expressions and seemingly deliberate capricious behavior, Sebastian couldn’t help frowning.

’Could it be that Lady Yumo has noticed the abnormality in the Saintess’s coronation ceremony?’

’Although Yumo’s somewhat silly personality should not have noticed, Sebastian still couldn’t help becoming worried

’It would be better to report this matter to Lord Xiao first’

’He should be able to make a more accurate judgment’

Thinking this, Sebastian slowly took out a communication magic stone from his spatial ring.

---

Meanwhile,

At the front of the female carriage, a blue-haired girl with a dead-hearted expression silently leaned against the carriage.

Vaguely, it seemed as if a soul was escaping from her mouth.

This blue-haired girl, whose soul had once left her body, was our great new Son of Destiny.

While in a daze, Asar began to mutter to herself listlessly.

’It’s over, I’m going to die, this time I’m really going to die...’

Thinking about being forcibly dragged into the caravan and moving towards the Black Rose headquarters, Asar felt an urge to beat her chest and vomit blood in frustration.

’Had I not just escaped from that hellish place?’

’Why does I have to go back now?!’

She had hoped that Sebastian, the old butler, would argue on her behalf, especially since the Black Rose Lady seemed to need to stay in Anvika for some inexplicable reason.

’Others may leave, but at least don’t take me with them!’

However,

Much to Asar’s surprise, the usually reliable and steady old butler dropped the ball at the critical moment.

After being glanced at with disdain by Miss Yu and threatened with a feather duster, the old butler seemed to have suffered tens of thousands of tons of attacks in his heart, becoming dazed and confused...

Under such circumstances, the outcome can be imagined.

’Really!’

’Why would those fearless Black Rose people be so keen on such a demonic idea?!’

’It’s not like that demon lady is their mother?!’

’Moreover,’

’A feather duster? That kind of cleaning tool? What’s there to be afraid of?!’

’Is it necessary to be so cowardly?’

Frustrated, Asar couldn’t help but press her head and complain.

’Old butler, you’re really not reliable!’

Unfortunately,

Complaints can’t change reality. Although after talking with Tania, Asar truly didn’t know where she should go.

But she absolutely cannot go back to the Black Rose.

She must think of a way to escape!

Deciding this in her heart, Asar immediately began to look around, searching for an opportunity to flee.

However,

Looking at the endless flat grassland nearby, Asar’s mood instantly sank again.

In such a place, comparing speed with horses, the efficiency of running away is indeed not high.

"What should I, what should I do..."

Just as Asar was internally struggling, the curtain behind her was suddenly pulled open.

A tall figure with flowing black hair and dragon horns, a dragon-horned girl, suddenly entered Asar’s field of vision.

The dragon-horned girl’s emotionless gaze and her face filled with a murderous aura made Asar shiver involuntarily.

’Could it be that my thoughts just now were perceived?’

"Miss Xizhi, what’s wrong?"

Asar asked uneasily, voicing the doubts in her heart.

However, at this moment, as the leader of the Nightingale organization, Xizhi did not immediately answer Asar’s question. Instead, she scanned the surroundings with sharp and alert eyes, clearly on guard against the situation around them.

This only confused Asar more:

"Miss Xizhi, what’s happening?"

"There are people hiding nearby."

With those words, Xizhi immediately placed her hand on Asar’s chest and pushed her behind herself.

As the leader of the Nightingale and the number one assassin of the Black Rose, Xizhi is skilled in camouflage and ambush.

Therefore, the moment she stepped into this area, Xizhi had detected the hidden murderous intent in the vicinity.

With a slight squint of her dragon eyes, Xizhi swiftly waved her hand, and three daggers wrapped in dark green fighting aura, carrying a chilling murderous intent, cut through the air and fiercely stabbed towards an empty spot not far away.

The next moment,

Under Asar’s astonished gaze, the three daggers capable of easily tearing apart the bodies of magical beasts suddenly hit an invisible wall, and a terrifying magical power fluctuation immediately rebounded out.

Bang!!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the dark green energy dissipated, and the three daggers, shaken by the force of the magical power, were blasted into fragments, scattering on the ground.

"What’s going on?!"

Asar couldn’t help but exclaim.

An attack aimed at thin air, why would it produce such a strong reaction? And what was that wall?

However,

Before Xizhi could explain, the area she had attacked continued to ripple with invisible fluctuations, rapidly spreading. In an instant, a powerful wave of magical energy surged towards everyone. And with the spread of the fluctuations, an ancient magic spell outlined, emitting a strong magical aura, a blue-green barrier appeared around everyone, enclosing the entire Black Rose family’s caravan within it.

At the same time,

On the previously empty plain, hundreds of people suddenly appeared. These strangers, all dressed in black robes and masked, either holding swords or wielding staves, were undoubtedly harboring ill intentions. With the appearance of these black-clothed people, a towering hostility surged towards the Black Rose family members like a raging wave.

"Be on guard!!"

The leading knight instantly roared, and the members of the Black Rose Knight Order immediately drew their swords from their waists, taking a defensive stance around the two carriages.

At this moment, even Asar, slow as she may be to react, could guess what was happening.

"An ambush?! These guys, are they bandits?"

"It doesn’t seem like it."

Xizhi did not hesitate to deny Asar’s guess, her gaze involuntarily locked onto the cloaks in the hands of the people in black robes, which could reflect light like mirrors.

"They are using those cloaks to hide their figures in the plains. If I’m not mistaken, those are the artifacts researched by Xue Tianao before. Who else could obtain so many of Xue Tianao’s magic artifacts? Doesn’t seem like ordinary bandits, right?"

Saying so, Xizhi raised the dagger in her hand, pointing it at the menacingly approaching people in black.

"Who are you?! How dare you intercept our Black Rose family’s caravan?!"

As she spoke, the terrifying aura belonging to a peak level 7 powerhouse burst forth from within Xizhi, rushing forward with an overwhelming momentum.

However,

Facing such a formidable warning aura, the people in black did not show any signs of fear, with no intention of retreating due to difficulty. Even more, a series of eerie laughter kept coming from their ranks.

The next moment,

Under the vigilant watch of the Black Rose family, a tall and sturdy figure with an extraordinary aura slowly walked out from among the people in black. Then, the man, with one hand on his hip, fearlessly met Xizhi’s sharp gaze.

At that moment, the man even mockingly clapped his hands.

"To be expected of the Black Rose family, to have a seventh-level powerhouse in a mere caravan? Impressive, impressive. But do you think we would be afraid with just one level 7? Don’t underestimate us!"

Before his words even finished,

A surging aura suddenly burst forth from the man in black, immediately pushing back Xizhi’s aura.

Without a doubt, this man, seemingly the leader of the people in black, was also at the peak of level 7. In terms of aura strength, he was in no way inferior to Xizhi. At that moment, as the man’s power was released, two more terrifyingly strong auras burst forth from among the people in black.

Although the strength of these two auras was not as strong as Xizhi’s, they undoubtedly both belonged to level 7 cultivator.

"If we talk about level 7 cultivator, we have three"

The man in black said coldly.

At that moment, the man pointed the dark muzzle in his hand at Xizhi’s forehead:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Black Rose, I believe you are wise. If you do not wish to suffer, just disarm peacefully and come back with us. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to cut your limbs, pack them in a box, and take you away with me"
